Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE ARGB – High-Performance CPU Air Cooler

The Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE ARGB is a powerful and well-engineered CPU air cooler designed to deliver excellent thermal performance, quiet operation, and stunning ARGB aesthetics in a compact single-tower form factor. It is an ideal cooling solution for gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts looking for reliable cooling without sacrificing style or compatibility.

Built with high-quality materials and Thermalright’s proven cooling technology, this cooler ensures stable CPU temperatures even under heavy workloads such as gaming, streaming, rendering, and multitasking.

Advanced Cooling Design

At the core of the Assassin X 120 Refined SE ARGB is a single-tower aluminum heatsink paired with four 6mm direct-contact copper heatpipes. This design allows for rapid heat transfer from the CPU surface into the fin stack, ensuring efficient and consistent cooling performance.
The optimized fin structure maximizes surface area, improving heat dissipation while maintaining excellent airflow efficiency.

High-Efficiency 120mm PWM ARGB Fan

The cooler is equipped with a 120mm PWM ARGB fan that delivers strong airflow while keeping noise levels low. With a maximum speed of approximately 1550 RPM, the fan provides high airflow and sufficient static pressure to push air through the dense heatsink fins efficiently.

Thanks to PWM control, the fan automatically adjusts its speed based on CPU temperature, offering the perfect balance between cooling performance and silent operation. Even under load, noise levels remain minimal, making it suitable for quiet PC builds.

Customizable ARGB Lighting

The built-in ARGB lighting adds a premium visual touch to your system. The fan supports 5V 3-pin ARGB synchronization, allowing seamless control through popular motherboard RGB software such as ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome.

You can easily match the cooler’s lighting with the rest of your components to create a clean, unified, and eye-catching PC setup.

Wide Intel & AMD Compatibility

The Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE ARGB offers broad platform support, making it a versatile choice for many builds.

Supported Sockets:

• Intel: LGA 115X / 1200 / 1700 / 1851

• AMD: AM4 / AM5

This wide compatibility ensures smooth installation on both current and previous-generation platforms.

Compact & Case-Friendly Design

With a height of approximately 148mm, this cooler is designed to fit comfortably inside most mid-tower and compact cases. Its slim profile also improves RAM compatibility, preventing interference with memory modules — even those with taller heat spreaders.

Durable & Quiet Bearing Technology

The fan uses S-FDB (Super Fluid Dynamic Bearing) technology, ensuring long lifespan, stable performance, and reduced friction. This results in quieter operation and improved durability over time, even with continuous daily use.
